Sometimes, I just sit and watch my fingers aggressively bend, straighten and whip left and right as they fight to click on the keys. Everything sounds too fast and too angry because the keys are being clicked at almost the same time- something which drives my family crazy, “Roba! Calm down!”. I am calm, but my fingers somehow take a life of their own; an angry life, a life faster and more caustic than that of my own persona, though admittedly, I am an aggressive person- impatinent, with a very low attention span, and generally quite dainty.
I think it’s all so hypnotizing.
I type with three fingers- four if you count my lefthand thumb whose job is to do all the spacing. Everything other than the spacing is handled with three fingers on my left hand: the index finger, the middle finger, and the ring finger. My right hand rests at the mouse and the occassional clicks on “Backspace” and “Enter” (for a live preview, check out video above). I guess I have Adobe to thank for that. Ctrl + T plus moving the mouse around, and well, the Dallal’s for passing on the genes for long fingers.
I was so young when I learned how to type, way, way before I had any idea what the internet was. My dad got us a personal computer in the early 90’s with a Wordprocessor, and I used to write, write, and write. I’m so glad blogging came along, at least all the stuff I write don’t get lost now. I can’t even work the floppy disks that containt my early blabberings anymore.
Does anyone else type with one hand? :P
adel
cool … pretty fast, for me 2-hands are faster and less hip-hop :)
Ziad D.
The many talents of Roba :) That was faster than when I type with two hands or four; if I were to sprout a couple more. :P Do you look at the keyboard when you type?
Dang I am going to replay that again, that was pretty awesome!!

I type with two hands … and if you were living in my place, I would kick you out :D … EASY on the keyboard, yeah?!
By the way, how many typos per minute do you make? :p
Shaden
You type with one hand only? I use both, and it’s just as annoying but at least I’m done faster I suppose.
Tololy
That reminds me of “Thing” in the Addams Family – fun!

God gave you the joy of having two hands, didn’t he? besides…while seeing that little movie, i kept feeling that you’re a one handed person:S:S:S:S
a friend of mine told me she types with one hand, i just didn’t believe her then!
and i would like to know what you typed up there?
didn’t they gave you a mavis beacon course at school?? :D.. or is just my school?
Lubna
give*
hisham assi
gosh! i cant even tell what the hell you were typing :S
Faisal
WOW.
I couldn’t do that if I tried… I suppose my hands are used to your generic two-hands-cover-certain-keys-on-the-keyboard method.
My hat off to you.
Sam Crock
well, how we can know if what you were typing was something readable! not mere key strokes.
Roba
Sam, I suppose you will just have to take my word for it :)
Hamzeh N.
Impressive!
You know what would make you truely a goddess of one handed typing? If you could type the same way with your right hand and be as fast.
This way if something happens to your left hand, la sama7a Allah, you just use your right.
abed
Freaky shit! Reminds me of the movie Exorcist
Tareq Abu Rahmeh
hahaha.. that was sweet.. looks like your having a hand seizure or something.

and, something i noticed while reading comments:
“LOL
It’s really impressive that you use all your fingers to type! LOL
I usually use my two index fingers but I’m still fast enough! LOL
ta7sheesh your typing! hehehe
I need to learn how to use my other fingers! LOL”
There seems to be a pattern here.. hmmm.
